Can anyone name a "Liberal" site kicking members off without good reason? [View all]

Think about it. Any site at all, give it a minute.

If that were the case, if you had been kicked off without recourse or reason give, if emails were not replied to and site management completely ignored personal requests, what would you do?

Per the above post, some of us have logged back on as "New Users" in violation of site policy, for purposes of complaint.

Which would of course be used as rationale for further "Violation" under site management authority

But hey, if you were running a "Group" and had complete control, if you could essentially snuff out all opposing viewpoints base on entirely partisan criteria, wouldn't you "Indulge"? Wouldn't you (perhaps) kick a member out of that group without notice, even if it were their first post on that Group?

Membership on any site isn't worth "Indulging" site management if they're prone to complete abuse of their authority. If group rules, when opposed, lead not only to being locked out of a group, but eventual lockout from the entire site for 12 days, would membership be worthwhile?

I'll eventually remove all of my posts from the particular site I'm referring to, it's not simply worth my efforts across 3 years to be kicked off of an entire site for a disagreement with a group "Manager". Essentially, that dictatorial "Power" is being supported by "Site Management", and to answer the question asked above, membership isn't worth being subjected to that kind of abuse.

Laterz.
